Art School Fashion Show

Around this time last year I attended Glasgow School of Art fashion show. I was also participating in Art School classes every weekend which included sketching, day trips and helpful advice. I really enjoyed these classes and made alot of new friends who are now at various uni's and art schools across the country. Because of these classes I went to the fashion show, otherwise I would not have heard about it.

The students hosted the event in the Vic, which is like GSA's version of the union. The Vic was transformed and it looked like a professional fashion show. With bright lights directed onto a runway. The front row was reserved especially for the GSA's finical supporters. On every chair was a folder full of discounts to be used around Glasgow. I felt like I was in London fashion week or something.

There was a distinctive soundtrack which set the scene for the show. I found out that it was actually a remix of the sounds that are created by the machinery which makes the prints and stitches on these designs! I personally thought that was a smart idea from the students. I was also surprised at how professional the models were who walked down the runway. Everything they wore was hand-made and designed by the students. It looked amazing. I couldn't believe that the students had created the garments which were on these models. I expected                           an amateur show but the students worked hard to create a professional night which I am going to attend again this year.
